Jakkals. Posted August 28, 2014 Share MTN is doing blerry well, Sergio taking the white jersey. On that note of MTN pulling the plug on Zoo, I dont know what happened, I wasnt there, but reading social media I can gather the following re most races. Our own local pro's are whining too much, if it isnt this, then it is that. Yes they are pro's but surely we all dont go on about something that isnt right at work or do we? Shut up, cleat in and race like there's no tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakkals. Posted August 29, 2014 Share Theo Bos signs for MTN-Qhubeka http://www.cyclingne...hubeka-for-2015 How sick is that, the chap that pulled Impey into the barriers. So I think if daryl doesnt get anything for next year he wont be joining the local team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted August 29, 2014 Share MTN pulled the plug on th on the Zoo Lake Crit.They didn't like the negative publicity that came from the area being closed off. There were people that took an extra 5 minutes to get to the shopping mall. You know how traumatic that can be True, but also last time there was very few spectators, so it becomes rather self-serving. Right now, I couldn't tell you any of the names of the local road pro's, and I am a cycling fan of note, so what does that say about Joe and Jolene Public?

deanbean Posted September 1, 2014 Share ]Kevin McCallum[/b] @KevinMcCallum . interested in Matt Goss (GreenEdge), Steve Cummings (BMC) and Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) from Is it still an African team??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieVlieg Posted September 1, 2014 Share Bliksem.... MTN must have pretty impressive bank balance if all these signings turn out to be true Good to see they are interested in cycling. Rugby and soccer I'm sure still gets the largest chunk of the pie but MTN as a brand gets more international exposure and a classier connotation through cycling. The brand and sponsors gets huge exposure from cycling as the name of the team basically consists of the sponsors name. Don't forget Samsung also contributes to MTN. MTN is also has a huge African footprint in their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted September 1, 2014 Share Is it still an African team??? Think its more important to have a competitive team. Euro & others providing experience to African riders plus we have the feeder team. I think they're doing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals. Posted September 1, 2014 Share Why would anyone want Farrar? I'd rather give RH a contract out of retirement than give one to Farrar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals. Posted September 1, 2014 Share But I must say, their classics roster seems to take some very descent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted September 1, 2014 Share With Brian Smith on board management-wise plus a few big cheese pros , they are hoping for the Le Tour next year. Although cant say I am too excited about Gossy and Tyler Farrar on the team. Brian was Tierman-Locke's manager back in his winning days, before he joined Sky, and vehemently defended him against doping (which T-L also still denies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted September 1, 2014 Share Why would anyone want Farrar? I'd rather give RH a contract out of retirement than give one to Farrar. +1 Too slow to be a sprinter - too fat to be a climber - not enough power to be a rolleur. Kinda like the bmw x5 of the cycling world ;-) He'll be a bloody expensicve water fetcher in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
